Is Melania going to divorce Donald Trump?
Rumors of an impending separation from the presidential couple have swelled since Joe Biden’s election victory. The Washington Post sees it above all as a fantasy on the part of the anti-Trump
Will Melania Trump file for divorce as soon as her husband leaves the White House? This question torments many Americans and is even the subject of betting on the other side of the Atlantic, underlines the Washington Post.
Many Americans who “despise Donald Trump imagine that his wife, Melania, also despises him”, explains the daily in the capital. As proof, they brandish "the videos in which the First Lady can be seen refusing to take her husband's hand". They point out that Melania Trump definitely spends a lot of time away from Washington and "that she is not very affectionate with her husband, at least much less than Laura Bush, Michelle Obama or Jill Biden".
The worst humiliation
A funny theory even surfaced in October, explains the newspaper, which claims that "the White House used a Melania understudy to appear alongside Donald Trump on his official travels." As scholar Myra Gutin points out, "Never has such a whimsical theory taken shape about another First Lady."
After a particularly brutal and divisive election, many anti-Trump who are more than tired of hearing “the president calling his opponents losers” would not be against “seeing Donald Trump being humiliated by his wife who is also her youngest of 24 ”.
They wouldn't like anything until she left him when he was already down. "
A surprising complementarity
Despite everything, relatives of the presidential couple interviewed by the newspaper emphasize that Melania gives no sign of wanting to leave Donald in the near future. Although the First Lady has repeatedly said over the past four years that she does not always agree with the President, at the end of the election campaign, she has mostly emerged as one of her most ardent supporters. .
The Trump couple are surprisingly on the same page despite their differences in character, says Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former close to the couple who has written a very critical book on the First Lady. “It's part of the show: she's always been the low key, when he's the one who speaks loudly. She embodies softness, he harshness. Their relationship is based on this strange complementarity. ”
